Section 3 - Hazards Identification
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: silver-gray lump.
Caution! May cause eye and skin irritation. May cause respiratory and digestive tract irritation.
Moisture sensitive.
Target Organs: Lungs.
Potential Health Effects
Eye: May cause eye irritation.
Skin: May cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: May cause irritation of the digestive tract.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic: Not available.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and
lower eyelids. Get medical aid.
Skin: Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated
clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or
water. Get medical aid.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give
artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other
symptoms appear.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
2. General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Dusts at
sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. Dousing metallic fires with water
may generate hydrogen gas, an extremely dangerous explosion hazard.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam. Do NOT
get water inside containers.
Flash Point: Not applicable.
Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable.
Explosion Limits, Lower:Not available.
Upper: Not available.
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 0; Instability: 0
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Very fine
particles can cause a fire or explosion. Eliminate all ignition sources. Clean up spills immediately,
observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation. Do not allow contact with water. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Keep from contact with moist air and steam.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Store protected from moisture.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels.
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a
safety shower.
Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's
eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing: Wear a chemical apron. Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying dust or mist respirator or European
Standard EN
